The actress gave birth in July.
Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe has named her newborn son Daye Colmic Lake, with the unusual middle name having a special family connection.
The soap star and her partner Greg Lake welcomed a baby boy on June 20.
She unveiled the first picture of the new arrival on Instagram on July 8 when she shared a photograph of Lake holding his son’s foot, captioned: “My boys.”
“Greg quite likes having the dads’ names carry on and I’m not a fan of more than one middle name. I wanted something original,” she said.
She used the social media post and the picture of her “unfiltered” body to urge other mothers and expectant mothers to be kinder to themselves about their postnatal bodies.
“I think it’s important we c unfiltered bodies durin n after r babies n celebrate them (sic)!” she wrote.
She said she loved seeing how her “body adapted to accommodate new life”, adding that it was “truly, beautifully, mindblowing”.
